 The 5G could make satellite control easier than it is today. 

The 5G communication satellites can make free WiFi all over the Earth. But the problem is who pays those costs? Satellites are not cheap cargo. So if we want, every person on Earth to get free WiFi we must find somebody to pay the costs. The WLAN communication all over the Earth requires lots of satellites. 

And private-owned satellites are always a tool that gives their owner power. If some very rich person gets a very large mass of information satellites under their control, that person can cut information from anywhere somebody doesn't please that person. Lots of satellites means lots of ammunition. 

All satellites are ASAT weapons. The satellite that collides with another satellite has a devastating effect. And the simplest killer satellites are satellites that collide with other satellites. In some visions, the privately owned company just offers a good deal with the military. That deal can involve things like global positioning services. And then at the right point, that system will shut down. 

Another scenario is that some billionaire simply gives free WiFi to all people for free. That thing would be devastating for competitors. And then that person will get the entire information network under control. After that, the person can just start to ask for lots of money for that system. 

The spaceborne systems that can use the 5G technology are one of the milestones in the space systems. The 5G mobile technology is used almost in every cell phone in the Western world. And that mobile technology allows to use of commercial modems and mobile technology in space systems. That thing makes those systems cheaper and makes programming for those tools easier. The same mobile systems that are used in regular mobile systems can integrate with space suits. 

The thing, that some astronauts use regular cell phones for communication and transmit telemetrical information makes those systems cheaper. The mobile telephone can be installed in the space suit's helmet. And that system can collect data from the space suit's sensors. A group of mobile telephones can act as computers for the space suits. 

And the 5G communication makes can data for remote-controlled tools. The 5G communication all over the planet is possible the same way as WLAN. The system requires high-power transmitters and very sensitive sensors that can detect even the weakest signals. This is one point where room-temperature superconductors would be a gift from heaven. Those things make it possible to create compact-size signal detectors that can detect weak radio signals. 

Otherwise, transmitters must use lots of energy. Otherwise, receivers require extremely powerful amplifiers. And in those systems, the problem is in the power source. Powerful transmitters and receivers require lots of power. And the other thing that requires power is large screens of mobile systems. This is why researchers are working with things like intelligent contact lenses. The simplest way to make a screen that requires very low voltage is to use systems with very low brightness. 

Those systems require a light amplifier so that their users can read the screen. But another version is to use miniature screens that are very close to the eye. That system can deliver information to the operator, and it can connect with things like rings with camera systems. Those finger cameras can help to find the errors behind the corners.
